 * \class algebra_stepper_base
 * \brief Base class for all steppers with algebra and operations.
 *
 * This class serves a base class for all steppers with algebra and operations. It holds the
 * algebra and provides access to the algebra.  The operations are not instantiated, since they are
 * static classes inside the operations class.
 *
 * \tparam Algebra The type of the algebra. Must fulfill the Algebra Concept, at least partially to work
 * with the stepper.
 * \tparam Operations The type of the operations. Must fulfill the Operations Concept, at least partially
 * to work with the stepper.

 * \param algebra The algebra_stepper_base stores and uses a copy of algebra.
